A review by laytongraph
Preacher Book One by Garth Ennis
5.0
Before I ever read novels, I read comics.
Comics were my life.
I probably have over a thousand comics and over a hundred graphic novels in my closet at home.
In recent years, I have moved on from my comic-reading habits. While I've always loved comics and look back on my early childhood love of them frequently, I couldn't see myself reading them again. Not because I'm too old for them or because I considered them "childish", but because I felt I wasn't accustomed to the medium any longer.
This all changed after I recently watched few episodes of Preacher on AMC. I quite liked it and saw some of the positive reviews the comics the television series was based on were getting, and I thought "Hell, I'll try it out."
I'm so glad I did.
This graphic novel was a blast. It reminded me of why I have always loved comics and the ways that graphic novels can sometimes tell stories even better than normal novels. The storylines are brilliant, the characters are incredibly funny, lovable, and interesting, and become even more so in subsequent volumes.
Here is one of my favorite illustrations from this volume:
